I mean, like really crazy stuff. But if you can do what you just did in a formal fashion, which I'll round to thinking from first principles, like if you just start, so I'll tell entrepreneurs, you need to start at literal physics. Like, what do we know about physics? Start from there. So this was the thing at Quest where we go to make the bar. Everyone says the bar can't be made.

And we're like, hold on, this does not violate the laws of physics. You then realize the thing that's actually stopping us is that for the last 70 years, corn has been subsidized by the government. So everybody uses high fructose corn syrup. So all the equipment that's being engineered is being engineered thinking you're going to use high fructose corn syrup, which has a certain viscosity.

And so now you go, oh, wait a second. So all we have to do is engineer our own equipment. Got it. Now, maybe we're not willing to do it, but at least now I know what that sequence going back to a combustion engine. If you understand how the engine works, you can walk through and be like, it's broken right there. Yeah. And now you can go, okay, how would I fix that?

What is the level of physics that's going to carry across? Now, what you did, which is the shortcut that most people take is, look, I'm trying to sell a thing to a guy. And so now I'm just leaping to the physics of the human mind. So what do I know to be true about people? And the way that you just walked through that, it's so brilliant. How do you get people to do that?

Like, do you have magic words? Do you have a training thing that you do for people that come on?

Dude, violent agreement. So Lisa and I call it no bullshit. What would it take? Okay. So of everything you're trying to do in your business, no bullshit. What would it take? Again, you might not be willing to do it, but you shift out of problem mindset into solution oriented mindset. This is one of the things that,

I find the hardest to instill in people, especially if just by nature, they're a problem finder where they can tell you all the reasons why something isn't going to work. But Peter Thiel has a really cool way to frame this, which is to ask, how do I make my 10 year plan happen in six months? Hmm. Because he said, everybody gets locked into this incrementalism.
